Lyrics: "Noshville Katz," by the Lovin' Cohens.
Noshville Katz-- he runs a kosher deli!
Noshville Katz-- the only place in town!
Noshville Katz-- it's not like you're in Brooklyn.
Noshville Katz-- the only one around!
Well, there's thirteen-hundred fifty-two different restaurants in
Noshville.
And you can eat anything from a hominy grit to a Contac time pill.
But there's only one place to get a half-sour pickle or a corn beef
sandwich in Noshville,
Just ask anybody how to get to Katz's if you're looking to eat well!
About a year ago it was impossible to find a kosher delicatessan.
And the people said, "Mr. Katz, won't you open up a place where the
people can fressin'?"
Well, it was a good idea for a Brooklyn boy to bring a kosher deli
to Noshville.
And his bubbah asked him who would eat his food
He said, "The Tennessee folks will!"
So, they call him
Noshville Katz-- he runs a kosher deli!
Noshville Katz-- the only place in town!
Noshville Katz-- it's not like you're in Brooklyn.
Noshville Katz-- the only one around!
Have a Yiddishe dish
A potato knish
Or a bagel and cream cheese.
A little chicken soup or gifilte fish
With some carrots and green peas.
If you can get through that,
Have a little chopped liver or some herring in wine sauce.
And you can wash it down with a Dr. Brown--
It shouldn't be a total loss.
Eat, darling, eat!
Noshville Katz-- he runs a kosher deli!
Noshville Katz-- the only place in town!
Noshville Katz-- it's not like you're in Brooklyn.
Noshville Katz-- the only one around!
We also cater bar mitzvahs.

Akschully, the best "kosher" deli is . . . Katz's, on Houston and Ludlow, since who knows when. A sign over the counter and dating probably from WWII says, "Send a salami to your boy in the Army"

And there used to be a good one (Kosher deli) on 2nd Avenue somewhere between 10th and St. Mark's Place (or mebbe between St. Mark's and 7th across from Cooper Union?), as I recall. I used to munch there frequently as it was around the corner from where I lived circa '78 (stopped in almost daily for my morning bagel).
Then there was Wolfie's uptown.

The Second Avenue Deli, at Ninth Street, is closing its doors -- perhaps even as I write this. Can't afford a new lease. Its founder who, it seems, was a good guy, was shot to death five or seven years ago, on the street while carrying his earnings to the night deposit box.
